There is growing outrage in Canada's 3 biggest provinces that have ordered to shut down nightclubs, bars and GYMS once again as owners and customers feel the pinch of being left behind in provincial health orders because of ravaging COVID-19 spreaing in the community.

Some however are defying the orders and remain open where they face massive fines of up to 5000 if they do so.

BC, Ontario and Quebec have ordered these businesses to close because of rapid transmission from these sites but many believe they are being singled out and are outraged that they still allow malls to open where people go shoulder to shoulder to shop and restaurants to have 50% capacity.

Nightclub and bar owners are angered over the closure and had to cancel thousands of party goers after the announcement and don't know how they will survive after the new years

COVID-19 cases have risen dramatically in the last few weeks with Ontario and Quebec hitting 10,000 a day and BC at a record 2500 as Omicron is hitting the country hard.

Unlike the United States, they are taking a different approach while having few restrictions and most places are still wide open after Joe Biden wishes everyone to have a merry christmas with large family gatherings.

Canadians however are asked to limit guests to 6-10 people and must be fully vaccinated only leaving many to feel disappointed, anger and confused.

Gym owners especially are angered over the closures who say many of their clientele come in to relieve stress and say it's deemed essential they use their services for mental health and think governments don't see that. One gym who is defying the orders, Darren Maywood in BC says they've done everything possible to keep their facilities clean and safe to use requiring masks and vaccinations only and none of their members have gotten COVID-19 from their business.

BC's Doctor Bonnie Henry, who was regarded as one of the most respected doctors in the world understands that these people are upset but says in their modelling shows that transmission runs high these businesses. She has received numerous death threats since the announcement

Despite all these concerns, the closures remain until at least January 18 to January 31 depending how the cases go after new years.

Do you agree with closing these businesses to slow the spread of omicron?
